Cincinnati Times-Star.
The two sleek young men arrested at the
Gibson house, Milroy and Thompson, were
being examined and an accurate description
was being taken of their persons. Every
mark was infinitely entered in the list of
descriptions, apparently much to the disgust
of the prisoners.
After it was completed and they were
about to leave the room, Milroy said, sneer-
ingly:
''Say, I've got mole on my heel"
'WhatS that?" demanded the chief.
Il have mole ON my heel" reiterated
the crook.
well, well, we have overlooked that. -
remarked the chief.
The crook smiled and thought himself a
great ''kidder.''
Suppose you sit down. Mr.. Milroy, and
take off your Shoes" suddenly said the
court. ''Slt right down."
This almost paralyzed the crook, who saw
the joke turned on him and he feebly said:

Take off those shoes!'
But"
''Take them off, STRIP
The smart young man seated himself and
very slowly proceeded to take off his shoes.

Once more the thief bent over, and amid
the suppressed laughterlof the spectators, re-
moved his ecru socks, revealing an unclean
pair of feet.
Now, where's that molee?" was the
query of the chief. ''Turn your heel
around"
The foot was turned, and detective,
after taking look at it, said:

MINNEAPOLIS rUGrLlSm.
Pat killen's PrOwcsS and Patsy
Cardiff's Opportunities.

Pat Killen opened the eyes of good
many people as to his ability as pugilist
Friday night when he knocked out Duncan
c. Mcdonald with single blow kilen
has been Singularly unfortunate in not gain
ing the favor or even the attention of the
public. He has done more fighting than
any other man in the Northwest, and has
always been successful. AT the same time
he was almost unknown to the crowd when
he faced Mcdonald Friday night, and GER
tain papers in noticing the event expressed
surprise that he should have been the victor,
having evidently supposed Mcdonald
the better man. In the East he is
well thought of, and it would not
have been quite so unexpected" His
affair with Bradburn at st. Paul. in which
he was made the victim of the wiles of two
or three managers" and the roasting"
that oily Pat Sheedy gave him the night
of the SullivanCarditf match in the pres
ence OF 10000 people, gave the public a
wrong impression. This was in measure
corrected by his work of Friday night, and
if killen meets another man in Minneapolis
he will attract q crowd where he would not
have drawn corpOral's guard. 1t is now
proposed to give him a chance at some
pugiliSt of reputation, and to have the
event take place in Minneapolis. For the
past year he has been trying to get meet
ing with Cardiff, and has offered every in
ducement, but the latter seems to
be fascinated with Sullivan, and
holds up as an excuse that
he must have another Ego" at the
emperor first, There is no doubt that
this is merely a blind, but this is sufficient
to prevent a match. Joe Lannon, who was
whipped by killen with one hand, is said
to have improved vastly, and is talked of as
an available mau. Jake kilran is another
Whoever it is, the public will doubtless be
given a chance to see Killen on his merits
within short time.
AS to Cardiff, there is no chance of
getting him to face any one for months to
come. His excuse is that he is bound not
to meet any one before Sullivan. While
this is stated in the agreement between the
two men, it does not mean anything,
but at the same time it affords Cardiff
the means to ward off the attempts
of Glover. Killen and others to get at him.
By the accident to Sullivan's arm he
suddenly stepped into a reputation that
gives him distinction. whether earned or
not. He can meet Smith or Knifton be-
cause they understand that he drew big
audience here. Consequently, it can be
depended upon that he will not fool with
any one else. He said last night: IF
Sullivan goes to Australia, or meets any one
else before me, L will meet Killen or any
one else" John Donaldson, his partner
went East yesterday, and will endeavor to
arrange match with either Smith OF
Mitchell.

Washington Letter.
If the people think that the president is
not sociable in his official prison life in the
White house they do not know him. He is
warm-h hearted and companionable in his
no urs of leisure from the routine dudgery
of his high place. He is fond of his friends
and a ways has good deal of company.
AS bachelor friend or two at dinner was
a regular occurrence, TO which he now Of
ten adds the friends of Mrs. Cleveland.
The president is also a good liver.
His greatest fOndness is for game in season.
Chef Perrin resented with an emphasis
which looked as if he might seize the

offending pate when the buckwheat cake

the rounds of the press in the carly days of
the administration was mentioned,

Then, rising with sort of Marsellase-

The presidential buckwheat cake threat

the day with breakfast of three dishes

Didn't Know His own Daughter.

and while walking up the street met a
young colored woman, who accosted him
as daddy" The old darby was somewhat
surprised. but after little explanation he
was convinced that she was really his child.
The old man says he is the father of thirty
six children; and does not know half of
them personally. He presented his daughter
with large wax doll, and she went off AS
